Re: DirecTV question - 16 years ago

Newton, She likes the History channel, TLC, and Fox Sports North for Twins and Gopher Hockey games so i don't think she would be happy with OTA. Do you have a link for these $13-$20 DirecTV packages? All I can find is $45 on up.

DirecTV question - 16 years ago

I am a newbie when it comes to DirecTV but I am sure there is someone knowledgeable on this board to answer my questions. My father died in February and my mom currently lives alone in a house with 4 DirecTV receivers. Her income has since been reduced and she is looking at reducing costs. Obviously she doesn't need 4 receivers. I recently learned that the access cards are tied to a spe

Re: Can you combine user accounts in Tiger? - 16 years ago

What about the other files and obscure preferences and application support files and whatever else? I asked a genius today at the MOA Apple store and they didn't have a painless way to merge two users. I also don't want two copies of my 30G iTunes library eating up my hard drive space. I guess I'll have to do the <insert file location here> to shared folder to <insert file loc

Can you combine user accounts in Tiger? - 16 years ago

I want to merge two user accounts into one. One of them has all my email and the other has my iTunes library. There are also other files as well in each account that I do not want to lose. What's the easiest way to accomplish this.

Re: Mom needs new car - 16 years ago

Okay, BGNR you get in your Scion and I'll get in say a Crown Vic. Bring her up to say 40 mph, head on. You still think it is safe? The problems I have with crash ratings are: 1.) They compare the cars to others in their class but I have not seen a non-class ranked list of crash safety. Do you really think econobox cars like the Scion would rank well in this type of comparison? 2.) The

Re: OT: Help Me Choose Blinds for my Patio Door - 16 years ago

I am one person that prefers vertical blinds over curtains. I chose Levolor s-curved textured plastic vertical blinds that pull all the way to one side. The main reasons in order are: 1.) Allergies. 2.) Sick of cleaning cat hair out of fabric. (We got the cat before my allergy problems kicked in.) 3.) Can let in variable amounts of light and when closed completely do a good job of blocking

Re: Importing to iTunes/ Which format do you use? - 16 years ago

I have a Airport wireless network with 3 or 4 Macs wirelessly hooked up to it and two Airport Express units hooked up to speakers. I found that if I used Apple Lossless or uncompressed AIFF that I would get dropouts when streaming to one of my Airport express units without sharing the library at all. I can stream to two AE's (before the syncing feature was enabled)as long as the files we
